tinywords 24.1 has now ended with Maeve O’Sullivan’s haiku “I shake the sand.” We will be on pause until the next issue, 24.2, begins at the end of September.
The submission window for tinywords 24.2 opens on August 1st and closes on August 31, 2024. Sending regular submissions to tinywords is a simple two-step process. Just check out our guidelines and send in your work using the form on the Submissions Page from Aug. 1 through Aug. 31, 2024. Please send us your haiku, tanka, small poems, haiga, or brief haibun to be considered for our next issue: tinywords 24.2.
To keep things interesting while we work on the next issue, we present a new writing prompt: A photo image of a mural In Rutland, Vermont, by Lopi LaRoes titled “Beginner’s Mind.” Many of us with a passion for words and reading remember the books that sparked our creativity in childhood and those that influenced us later. Books that still circle around in our thoughts and continue to inspire us. We hope the whimsical flying books of this mural and its wonderstruck young girl will inspire you to write a tiny poem or two.
Be sure to share them with us: Leave your best efforts in response to the photo prompt in the comment box below and the tinywords editorial team will share the best of the best at the start of tinywords 24.2, due out in late September, 2024.
Thanks again for dropping by. We look forward to reading what you have to say.
Be well,
The editors
